However, the "tainted task" flag remains even if the recipe is rebuilt from scratch, say after I commit the change and update my kernel recipe. Shouldn't it be cleared if some task (step/phase) which precedes it is run? To be clear, this message happens every run after the "-C compile" run: WARNING: /local/poky-cutting-edge/meta-fsl-arm-extra/recipes-kernel/linux/linux-boundary_3.14.52.bb.do_compile is tainted from a forced run and the only way to clear it is to run % bitbake virtual/kernel -c clean Is this behavior correct, or buggy? -- ------------------------------------------------------------ Gary Thomas | Consulting for the MLB Associates | Embedded world ------------------------------------------------------------
